THE SBMI-WEEKLY express. W.

The ob ject ■which they have in view is to grin State ascendancy, oust the Radicals at home, take the reins of government in their own nads, and thus pave the way to the great l> ttle for tl»e Consti tution and the rights of the States, which is to take place in the yenr 18- 72. With a patriotic purpose which demands the admiration of all, they have hitherto, with unbroken faith and horoic resolve, contended with their foes, but all in vain; the battle has hitherto gone against lUem; still de termined* to put down the enemies of ■ the country, finding, however, that j upon the issues of the past, the same inevitable defeat awaits them, they propose simply, not, if wo understand them, an abandonment of their princi ples, but to go into the contest upon other issues, upon which the common enemy is more vulnerable, and with I their old armor on, hope to win the j tight. It would, it seems to us, be nothing more nor less than fatuity to hazard their fortunes upon questions already determined against them in their own States, and which, in their deliberate and assembled judgmeut, they believe would result inevitably in the same disastrous defeat; and we lean therefore, not only excuse, but commend if it were necessary, any* dropping of any plank from their platforms upon which they do not piopose to stake the contest, and muk ing their fight upon others, on which, in tneir judgment, they can go into toe field witn a good prospect of suc cess. It is important for many con siderations that they should prove victoiious, and among other reasons, it is the more so, be cause of the effect the F-ll elections will produce upon the Presidential conflict of the next year. This is of the last importance to the Democracy of the whole Union, for one m-»v very well anticipate which party will succeed in 1872, by the re sult of the State elections in ’7l. They are the masters of their own positions, and certainly are the only parties who can properly decide the course which it is best for them to pursue in the coming Fall campaign, and we, for one, have not yet reen the propriety of an interference from other quarters, with the course which they may adopt for themselves! in an issue iu which the interest of no one else is involved, except in so far as this contest may effect the platform and campaign of the whole party in the next year. What they may say or do now, is said and done for a present purpose, and binds no one but themselves, and has no command or authority over the platform, or action of the National Democracy party, which has yet to declare for itself the principles upon which it will wage its coming conflict with Radicalism, if, in deed, it be at all necessaiy to have any platform. And therefore, we have, as yet, failed to see the necessity for all the discussion which is now being had upon the subject, fearing that while it v ill result in no sensible impression upon what will be the de clared principles of the Democratic party, when it shall meet in Conven tion, yet that its direct effect will be to produce divisions in the ranks of that party itself, and cause the Radi cals, healing tlieir breaches and smothering their divisions, to concen trate all their forces for the contest.— H # ! Not for the present presuming to say ! which, in our judgment, may be the best policy for us. when the time for action of the party, as a party, shall arrive, to pursue, we are grieved to see the dissension which prevails in our ranks, and with the Columbus Kuquir er, believe the “discussion to be un timely,” if it has not already injured us. We append the article of that pa per os expressive of the views and feelings trlijch we have all the time entertained upon this important sub ject: WTIMrXi' DISCUSSION. It hi apparent that the Radical press of the country is greatly pleased at Mr. Stepbens’dMfttfuaed warfare upon what be calls tfee "new departure.” Northern Radicals rely upon it to make party capital for them in two ways: Ist, by dividing and distracting the Democratic party at the South; and 2d, by enabling them to whip again into the traces such Northern Repub licans as may be disposed to regard all questions connected with slavery and “ reconstruction” as settled, and to act with the Democrats oil otner is sues. We do not believe that the Democrats of the South can be divi ded or distracted by this discussion, whether conducted by Mr. S e c >hens or any other man; but we do apprehend that the controversy now so persistent ly kept up (after it has been found ! that the party at the North did uot j mean ami is not likely to go to the, ex treme> at first imagined) will result iu uniting more closely the Radical party at the North cn the old platform of hostility to the S nth. We like some remarks on this sub ijeefc which we find in the Atlanta Con ’dilittion. That paper says: “If the Northern and Western Democracy are determined to fight their States, bat tles, preliminary to the Presidential contest of 1872, upon the platform of the “new departure,’ is it right for ns by our opposition and ceaseless agita tion to supply the Radical party with weapons to defeat thus eudau gertiig, or rather utterly demolishing the prospects of national Democracy victory iu 1872, upon which depends our most vital interests? Is not such a course political suicide? “ltut agfciu, it creates the impres sion of growing division iu the Demo cratic ranks. We all know, whatever our differences of opinions as regards tli« ‘new departure,’ we shall heartily unite upon the national Democratic pla, form when declared, and, like our gallant Kentucky biethern.lock shields together iu the Democratic assault up on Radicalism.—But this wrangling and dissension strengthens the enemy by an eucouragemeut to persistent ifl'orts to misrepresent the National Democratic party, the Southern peo ple, and the true issues involved. We have an unscrupulous, victorious foe to meet, backed by the powers of the gov ernment, and representing the passions and war prejudices of the Northern people. In view of the tremendous odds against us, harmony becomes essential to the achievement of suc cess.” Eclitoi 7a l Miscellany.

Mcßride A Cos. Among the many firms iu Atlanta : that are becoming noted for their en-| tcrpiise and energy there is none more ' deserving than that of Mcßride & Cos. This is one of the heaviest crockery firms in the South. Besides its whole sale and retail trade, it does a large importing business, buying the goods directly at the hands of European manufacturers. A member of the firm has lately been in Europe, where he selected a large stock of the latest styles of crockery, glass ware and oth er goods in their line. This firm is one that has done much for the jobbing trade of Atlanta. They have used all legitimate means of briug their goods to the attention of the public, and succeeded long ago in de riving a good trade from this and the adjoining States. The fact that they have beeu able to hold this trade and to steadily increase it, shows a strong argumeut in their favor. We take great pleasure in commending them to the public. They are able to sustain i themselves under any demand that! may be made upon them. * -#••«#. A lady correspondeu t of the New j York Commercial Advertiser thus re lates her experience at the Branch: “I made a discovery a few evenings since, which relieved my mind from a gi eat deal of worimeut. Our sex are naturally suspicious and inquisitive. I was having a pleasant chat at the room of a lady friend, \chen I thought I heard my husbands voice over the fan light of a neighboring room. We lis tened and heard boisterous laughing which soon convinced us that both our husbands were there. We could hear distinctly, “Chip,” “Chip,” “Chip.” “Twenty better.” “What ye go,” and a score or more of odd expressions. Woman’s curiosity was uot long in being giatified. We had no occasion to peep through the key hole; we learn ed to our entire satisfaction that our husband were wedded to “two pairs.’ i wish you could have witnessed husband when he entered our apart ment about three o clock in xt morn ing- I had been waiting for him—- had a slcepKps night. He entered stealthily, and commenced undressing • himself. Ho was arrested for a mo ment by my snoring. I confess I snor ed, but only in fun. It was just to fool him. He, poor fellow, stared at me with all the eyes in his head—he had never heard me play before on the nasal organ. 1 went it as strong is Levy, but with uot quite so much i harmony. There he stood like pa- j tieuce on a, monument, when I,com- j me need talking in my sleep—‘Chip,” ‘chip, ‘chip,’ ‘twenty-five better,’ ‘two pair., ‘Was not lie a picture, though? I could stand it no longer, and°soi roared right out. He confessed all, promised to do better, and to give more attention to bis deserted wife.” Grant’* ltoAoiiiinution. i _ The chances of Grant’s re-nomiua- j tion by the Republicans are good, in j fact there seems to be but liitle doubt! of it just now—something, however, | may “turn up” to prevent it His enemies within the Radical camp are making every exertion and straining every nerve to defeat him for the nom ination, but the number of office holders at his beck, and the Federal patronage at his command, will doubt less secure his nomination. A re nomination, however, is one thiug, and an election is another. If prudence controls in the Democratic party, the outlook for the success of a Democrat ic candidate is not in the least inau spicious. The star of Grant’s destiny is on the wane, and his defeat can bo compassed if the Democratic party will cordially unite. The German el ement all through the North and West is much dissatisfied with Grant; and if judicious councils prevail, large accessions will be made to the Demo cratic party. For ten 3 ears the Ger man citizens up North have acted with the Radicals, but now they are oppos ed to Giant’s administration, and its revolutionary tendency. The loss t of the German vote would operate seri ously against Grant, and if wisdom is exercised by the Democracy, this vote can be secured. The Radical party must exen themselves now,or go un der. Slavery has been its “harp of a thousand strings,” but that is now settled and disposed of, and they must enter the field upon some new issue.— What issue they will make, we know not; their management of the finances, the taxation, the internal improve ment and the disposition of Federal patronage has not been.such as to win them any popularity. The people are thoroughly disgusted with Radical rule, with its corrupt and centraliza tion tendencies, and desire a change. If the Democratic party would look facts in the face, become united, and take advantage of the corruptions, the riotness and dissension in the Rad ical party, success would crown its efforts. — At. Con. A Slone Worth Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars. A Jacksonville (Illinois) correspond ent of Lhe St. Louis Democrat, says a suit, involving probably a million of dollars, was commenced on the 28th instant, in Morgan county Circuit Court, by Rebecca W. Vail, William H. Carson, Nancy Roe, Mary Baker and eight others, against Kitty FlyuD, Thomas M. Carson, Thomas Roe and eleven others. The bill alleges that on a day too remote to be mentioned with certainty, but about one hundred years ago, one A. M. Roe, of the State of Virginia, became possessed by dis covery, of a certain precious stone, remark 1 ble for its hardness and bril liancy, and so far as has been tested, its characteristics are those of a dia mond of the first water; that this stone is one and a half inches in di ameter one way, and something great er the other way, and is of eight hun dred thousand dollars’ value; and that this stone is now in the possession of Thomas M. Carson, of Jacksonville.— The plaintiffs ask that defendants be compelled to bring this gem into court to sell and distribute the pro ceeds among the heirs. The value of this stone was but recently ascertain ed, although it has been iu the pos session of William Roe and his heirs over a centuey. JSSsT 1 A few days since a woman in Milwaukee was “hard at it” blowing up the neighbors, a hired girl, and ev erything in general, when her husband entered and interposed a mild word This added fuel to her temper, and she opened lier mouth for an angry reply, but a spasm contracted her cheek, her lower jaw fell, and she could neither speak nor shut her mouth, but remained in that condi tion, her tongue hung out, and her eyes nearly stared outpf their sockets. On examination being made, it was found that she had dislocated her jawbone in her violent effort to make a stinging, reply to her husband. A surgeon was called, who reduced the dislocation, bound up her head, and prescribed a gruel diet.

A l«t of DmI(J Quarles Fresh Turliip Seed for Sale, at the Post Office, The best varie ty raised in the county. Oar Trip to Polk County. According to promise, we propose to give our readers an account of our trip to Rock Mart and Yan Wert, in this issue. In company with Mr. F. E. Gibson* of Griffin, we left Cartersville on Fri day, the 4th instant. Having a good “turn-out,” from our friend Joe Britt’s Livery stable, we arrrivod at Rock Mart, after about a five hour’s drive, about twelve o'clock, and after taking our horse to the Livery stable, we proceeded without delay, to the hotel kept by Mr. Cox, formerly proprietor of the Exchange Hotel, of this place, and partook of a dinner that would have done credit to Delmonico, and we were of the opinion, that Mr. Cox, in addition to being a clever man, knew how to “keep a hotel.” After dinner, we took a walk over the thriving little towm, and were grat ified to see how rapidly it had improv ed sirce we were there last. New buildings are springing up in every por tion of it, and are being occupied as soon as completed. Among the mer chants doing business there, we men tion the following: Mr. \Y. Ferguson, dealer in Dry Goods, &c, and from what we could gather, is driving a lively trade. He is a pel feet gentleman, and has our thanks for services rendered us, and our best wishes for his future welfare aud prosperity. Messrs. Hines & Reeves, dealers in Dry Goods, Cloth ing, &c., are also doing a lively busi ness. Messrs. Joe & Hud York, deal ers in Wines, Whiskeys, Cigars, Ac., carry things before them. They ar e clever boys, and no doubt will succeed- Mr. Jessee Pritchett, runs a Bar-room and Livery Stable. Our whilom friend, A. B. Sims, Jr., better known as Boully, superintends the Bar-room, and is always on hand, ready and willing to wait on his customers. Our young friend, O. H. Milner, alias “Pomp” having some law busi ness that demanded his attention, down there, made liis debut into the little city, about 1 o’clock, and after delivering his “tirery steed” up to Boully Sims, with the request that he feed him well, bent his footsteps in the direction of Cox’s Hotel, but owing to an express stipulation between Pomp and us, we will not tell how much he eat, nnd how, when he was helping himself, once, twice and thrice, he complimented the manner in which the meal was prepared. Late in the afternoon. Mr .Frank Harris, oue of the engineers of the Cherokee Railroad, Mr. F. E. Gibson, Pomp and ourself had our horses “geared up,” for the purpose of visiting that portion of the Railroad upon which the convicts of the Georgia Penitentiary were at work, which point we reached after traveling a distance of two and a half or three miles, beyond Rock Mart, in the di rection of Cedar Town, through the piny-woods, piloted by our polite, af fable, and gentlemanly young friend, Mr. Frank Harris. We will state simply, that there were no idlers in that crowd, and to say they worked, hardly expresses it. Having become wearied looking at these unfortunates, not one of whom, we dare say, but has been made to realize the truth of the assertion, “the way of the transgressor is hard,” we turned and drove slowly back to Rock Mart, arriving just in time for supper. We were pleased to meet our friend Guy Moseley, former ly of*ke firm of the Moseley Brothers, of this place, who is now on the engin eer corps of the Cherokee Railroad.— After doing full justice to an excellent supper, aud being tired, we retired early, and woke on the following morning, Saturday, very much refresh ed by the night’s slumber. Breakfast over, Pomp and ourself, drove over to Van Wert, at which place a Justice Court was to be held. Ten o’clock, the hour for Court to open, having rolled around, the Bail iff, in stentorian tones, informed the people of this fact, and a few minutes the store house of Rev. W. W. Simp son, was filled to overflowing. His Honor, Judge A. T. Williamson, an nounced that the first case for adjust ment was that of Dr. S. W. Thomp son, of Cartersville, vs. S. S. Davis, of Van Wert, O. H. Milner, for the de fendant, and Col. Fletcher, for the plaintiff. After tne examination of the witnesses, our fiiend Pomp, pro ceeded to prove to his Honor, in a splendid little speech of about twenty minutes duration, the justness of the position he had taken, which position ! ho affirmed, the law sustained. He ! was followed by Col. F.etcher, who presented things in altogether anew ! light to the owe in which Pomp had j presented them, llis Honor failed to see it through the same glasses that Pomp did, and consequently gave a Judgment in favor of the plaintiff. Several cases were disposed of, and Col. Fletcher, and Capt. Ware, had it •‘hot and heavy;” both these gentle men arc first-rate lawyers. Old Van Wert io not half dead yet, but on the contrary, is building up rapidly, and ere the lapse of many years, Yan Wert and Rock Mart, will be consolidated—all oue—aud the big gest town of its size, in the world ! and the “Polk County News,” the big gest newspaper in the world ! Bravo, Yan Wert, Hurrah, Rock Mart, and bully for the “Polk County News!” We left Yan Wert Saturday after noon, “homeward bound,” and arrived safely about nine o’clock. We hftvn’t told half wo kuow and would like to tell, but for want of time and space, we are compelled to j stop right here. —— 11 ,i ,„i 1,1,11, Mm,, j__ J\*ew Advertisen^ents. TAYXOTICE.
